Rachel, Sixteen, New York City.

I'm currently 123 pounds & I have a goal to be 105-110 by Summer or to be toned. I'm sick of hating my body and I want to be happy with myself. I'm doing this the healthy way and nothing will ever change that.

I sometimes really hate how unsupportive my friends can be.

I tell them I’m trying to stay away from junk food and sugared drinks.

I say I don’t want juice, they tell me to shut up.

Then I tell one of my friends that I’m trying to stay away from some brands of gum because it can have an ingredient that increases your risk of cancer and she then proceeds to roll her eyes and have her voice ring with annoyance and attitude.

Obviously these two things aren’t a big deal, it’s my life and my choice.

So I would appreciate it if you would shut the fuck up and deal with it.

Make 5 goals - 5 things you want to do by the end of the month. Be reasonable with them and keep the list somewhere you’ll remember. Chances are you won’t lose 20 lbs by the end of the month, so skip it as a goal. Instead focus your goals around getting more active and healthy. Everyday try to make one better choice like taking the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator or having an apply for snack even though you’re dying to have the slice of pie. All these little changes will really add up. If you don’t already have an exercise you do regularly…
Try out a new exercise - Switching up your exercise routine is important, especially if you’re hitting a plateau. Curious about an exercise you’ve been eyeing for awhile? YouTube that shit. Read about it on Google. DO IT. Why not? Try to exercise at least 2-3 days a week this month.
Eat fruit! - Only the most delicious fruits are in season in June. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, watermelon, rhubarb, cherries and so much more! Not only is fruit good for you, but in season you can find some great deals on it! Check out your local farmer’s market for freshly grown produce at great prices.
GET OUTSIDE!! - IT’S JUNE, what could you possibly doing inside?! (besides Tumblr;) ) Swim, hike, bike, walk, skip. Do it all. Play basketball at that old court down the road, ride your bike to work. The sun is shining and there is no better time to get active and have fun.
Follow these tips throughout the month of June and you’d be surprised how easily healthy habits begin to develop.
